Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a character input device for inputting multi-character types of characters such as kanji, and more particularly, to a character input method when misreading or unreadability occurs in a kanji recognition device. It is something.

Conventionally, this type of device has been constructed using an input device such as a phonetic input device that does not use character reading results, and has had drawbacks in operability, such as requiring skill to operate.

The present invention is characterized in that characters are input using the recognition results of a character recognition device, and its purpose is to improve the operability of character input when misreading or inability to read occurs in the character recognition device.

FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining one embodiment of the present invention.

A character pattern of characters to be input written on a form or the like is sent from the input means 1 to the character recognition means 2 through the data line C1. In the character recognition means 2, the character most similar to the character pattern is selected from the character set stored in the character set storage means 5 through the data line C4.
2 to be displayed on the character display means 3. According to the operator's judgment, if the character to be input matches the selected character, the code of the selected character is output through the signal line C6, and if they do not match, the code is output according to the instruction from the instruction/selection means 4. In the character display means 3, a correspondence corresponding to the selected character is selected from the correspondence character set storage means 6 which stores corresponding character sets determined within the range of equivalent similarity for each character of the character set. A character set is input and displayed through data line C5. A signal for selecting the character to be inputted from the displayed corresponding character set is sent from the instruction/selection means 4 through the signal line C3, and the code of the character to be inputted is outputted through the signal line C6.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a specific embodiment of the present invention. Characters 7 to be entered written on form 7
When a is misread as character 8 by the character recognition means, the character display means 3 selects and displays a corresponding character set 9 that is associated with the character 8 based on its similarity. Then, by inputting the number 10 of the character to be input using the instruction/selection means 4,
Characters to be input are selected and input.

With such a structure, characters can be input by a simple operation of looking at the characters displayed on the character display means, selecting from among them, and inputting them.

Although the case where one character is selected by the character recognition means has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of characters may be selected and a set of characters corresponding to each character may be displayed on the character display means.

Furthermore, although a case has been described in which the recognition result and the corresponding character set are displayed using the same character display means, two different types of character display means may be used.

As described above, according to the present invention, corresponding to each character in the character set to be recognized by the character recognition means, a corresponding character set defined within a range of equal similarity to that character is stored. Since the system is equipped with a corresponding character set storage means and displays the corresponding character set based on the recognition result displayed on the result display means, there are no input errors due to misreading by the recognition means, and character input operations are facilitated. There are some advantages.

Furthermore, by including characters other than the characters in the character set to be recognized by the character recognition means in the corresponding character set, there is an advantage that it becomes possible to input external characters to the character recognition means.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining this invention, and FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a specific embodiment of this invention. In the figure, 1 is an input means, 2 is a character recognition means, 3 is a character display means, 4 is an instruction/selection means, 5 is a character set storage means, 6 is a corresponding character set storage means, 7
is a form, 8 is a character selected by the character recognition means, 9 is a corresponding character set, and 10 is a number to be selected by the character selection means. Furthermore, C1, C2, C4, and C5 are data lines C3 and C6 are signal lines. In the drawings, the same or corresponding parts are denoted by the same reference numerals.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. In a character input device that inputs characters of various types such as kanji, there is an input means for obtaining a character pattern of characters to be input, a character set storage means for storing a predetermined character set, and a character set storage means for storing a predetermined character set. A character recognition means for recognizing characters by selecting similar characters from among them, a result display means for displaying the recognition result by this recognition means, and a display of equivalent similarity for each character in the character set. a corresponding character set storage means for storing a corresponding character set defined within the range of , and a corresponding character set display means for displaying the corresponding character set;
It has an instruction means for instructing the corresponding character set display means to display a corresponding character set, and a selection means for selecting one character from the corresponding character set displayed on the corresponding character set display means. If the recognition result is different from the character to be input, the instruction means is used to display a corresponding character set corresponding to the recognition result on the corresponding character set display means, and the selection means is used to select the character to be input. A character input device characterized by inputting data.
